This easy side dish is sort of the opposite twin of my previous side dish featuring carrots. Instead of tending a pan of carrots stove-top, this is something to throw in the oven when you need to baby-sit your main dish or other sides. Hope you like this one too! Read more

Super easy and super yummy. I am not really a fan of regular basil pesto (don’t hate it, just don’t love it.) I double the recipe and keep some in the fridge. Great with scrambled eggs as well, but truly for pasta lovers. I don’t usually use the green can of parmesan, but I also don’t always spring for the real stuff either. Look around and see what kind of compromising you are willing to do between taste and price. Read more

I really love this. I love eating this as a main meal with just some crusty bread on the side, but I also get tired of serving the same sides night after night. For a barbecue its a great complement and much fresher than opening a can of baked beans, or a nice replacement for rice as a side dish. Read more

I found this recipe in Deborah Madison’s wonderful Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone. I have tweaked it just a bit to make it a little cheaper- even though spaghetti and tomato sauce is one of those things that just makes sense for cheap eats. I make this when roma tomatoes are on sale. It’s a little more special than regular marinara and because of the great flavor from roasting you will not miss the meat you might regularly put into your spaghetti sauce. Read more
